Industry trends:

The snack food manufacturing industry (NAICS 31191) has been experiencing several notable qualitative trends recently. Health and wellness have become significant drivers, with consumers increasingly seeking snacks that offer health benefits or are made from natural, organic, and non-GMO ingredients.

Another trend is the demand for convenience and on-the-go snacking options, driven by busy lifestyles. Snack manufacturers are responding with single-serve, portable packaging formats that cater to this need. Furthermore, sustainability concerns are encouraging companies to adopt eco-friendly packaging and ethical sourcing practices.

Innovation in flavors and textures continues to be a key trend, with global and exotic flavors attracting adventurous consumers. Technological advancements in production are also enabling the creation of unique snack experiences that appeal to sensory preferences.

Looking forward, these trends are expected to persist, with health-friendly, sustainable, and convenient products driving growth in the snack food sector.
